If the entertainment life of Cangya Mountain is gossip and rumors, then the characteristic customs of Yecheng people is to watch the fun and talk about the fun.
The long-term stability and wealth have made the folk customs here bold and bold, dare to watch anything lively, dare to tell any stories.
They talked about how the demon cultivators in Donglu wanted to revive the magic palace, how luxurious and rich the royal families in Beilu were, and guessed how beautiful the first beauty in Lianjian was, and they were also worried about when their city lord would marry. .
The people of Yecheng talked about the world's big and small matters with great interest, as if everyone was a big man who pointed the country.
Even at night, the business upstairs of Taihe is no worse than that of Jinfeng Yulu Building.
There was a high platform in the lobby on the first floor. The storyteller in a long coat rinsed his mouth with a fine tip and bowed to the crowd of guests under the stage. Immediately attracted thunderous applause and applause.
The lobby on the first floor was already full, and in a remote corner on the second floor, three young men sat.
One is the gentleman's elegance, and the other is the gentleman's handsomeness. Another was wearing a black cloak and couldn't see his face clearly.
But Ye Cheng was bustling with people, and there were all kinds of strange cultivators, so this dress was not eye-catching at all.
Yin Biyue was overwhelmed with emotion as he drank the Huba tit tongue that Duanhua talked about.
Unexpectedly, the three of them...
Actually came to hear the book!
The storyteller downstairs has already opened his mouth, and his energetic voice spread far away.
"Everyone here knows that next month's Chongming Mountain Orientation will be held at the Chongming Mountain, two miles outside our city. At that time, there will be a gathering of young powerhouses from all sects, and all kinds of magical powers will be on the stage. It is a rare event in ten years!"
Just when everyone thought that today was still about the flower-folding party, the storyteller changed the topic, "But let's not talk about the flower-folding party today, what are we going to say? Let's talk about the fortune-telling words of Mr. Zhonglu Academy. !"
The applause from the audience sounded again.
Although the folding flower meeting is wonderful, it has been talked about for many days, and everyone can hear it by heart. At this time, talking about something new is naturally more attractive.
When Yin Biyue heard the words of Mr. Zhangyuan, his heart tightened.
what word
The storyteller said humanely, "'Double stars appear in the world, dragons and snakes fight, life and death are in the same door, and life is one.' This is what the gentleman said in Minghu three hundred years ago. I think some people have heard of it, and some people don't know."
Yin Biyue really didn't know. He wasn't born three hundred years ago, so he only remembered hearing these words vaguely.
"But what do these two sentences mean? How do you interpret them? I think everyone wants to know, let's talk about it today!" Amidst the cheers, the storyteller didn't bother, "There is only one dragon in the twenty-eight lodgings in the sky. , Kang Jinlong, is the 'Kang Su' in the seven eastern places... As for the snake, it is the 'Ying Su' in the southern seven places, the Winged Fire Snake!"
This is not esoteric astronomical knowledge, and people who know a little bit have already echoed, "That's right!"
Some people also questioned, "This guy knows it, what do you mean by these two constellations?"
The storyteller said with a smile, "What a character Mr. Zhang Yuan is! It can be said to be a great opportunity! These constellations clearly refer to people! Kang Jinlong and Winged Fire Snake correspond to the directions of the constellations. I think they are 'Cangya Mountain' and 'Huang Yashan'. "Pu Zong', the fortune teller is exactly the eldest disciple of Xi Huafeng, Jun Yu, and the leader of Baopu's seven sons, Lin Yuangui. The two of them are the strongest in the younger generation of the two factions, and they naturally bear the burden. Mister's divination."
The people in the restaurant were so happy, they never thought that there would be three Cangya Mountain disciples at this time.
Yin Biyue looked at the two people beside him, Duan Chongxuan and Luo Mingchuan still didn't change their expressions.
Someone on the first floor shouted, "Hey, there is 'Dragon Snake Fight', so how do you explain this 'life and death'?"
The storyteller was not annoyed either, shaking his folding fan and said, "The door, 'situation', means that the two of them will be forced into the same situation, and they will fight for life and death."
"Yo, you're so sure, what if you're wrong?"
The storyteller laughed loudly, "Haha, if it's wrong, you come to me to pay for the tea!"
Everyone knows that losing money for tea is just a joke. Taihe tells stories upstairs, guessing and exaggeration are the main ones, where can it be true. The storyteller took advantage of the situation to talk about the old affairs between Cang Ya and Bao Pu Zong, and there was another round of heated discussions in the building.
The storyteller knows a bit about stargazing, and after spending a long time in a crowded teahouse, he also heard some miscellaneous rumors about the school. Speaking in such a cadence, everyone in the teahouse listened with relish.
Yin Biyue had no interest in listening. Seeing that he was restless, Luo Mingchuan moved his hand on the teacup slightly, so the noise of the whole room could not be transmitted here.
Even at the nearest table, the three young people could only be seen drinking tea in silence.
Yin Biyue felt a sudden change in the aura around him, as if there were invisible barriers surrounding them.
They knew that this was the first time Luo Mingchuan had revealed the means of breaking the barrier.
So Yin Biyue directly said the doubt in his heart. He asked Duan Chongxuan, "Is this...is it true?"
He knew that Duan Chongxuan had a unique news channel because of his extraordinary status, and knew many secret anecdotes, not to mention the involvement of the senior brother, he must have heard of it.
Duan Chongxuan didn't answer yes or no directly, but said in a succinct manner,
"It is rumored that three hundred years ago, the gentleman once drank on the Ming Lake at night. He drank fourteen altars of Liuxian brew for seventy years, and he was very drunk, and the royal boat sang."
Yin Biyue couldn't imagine that the Confucian scholar who made tea under the locust tree would be drunk and singing.
"At the time when the stars are falling on the lake, and the hundred miles are glittering, Mr. raised his eyes to look at the stars and sang in "Phoenix Tour", "Double stars appear in the world, dragons and snakes fight, life and death are in the same door, living together". After the song, the night mist on the lake suddenly rose. , The third watch will not disperse. Until the night fog fades, everyone knows that Mr. Wu had an epiphany on the lake and went away by the wind. This divination song was also recorded and recited from then on."
"At first, there was a lot of buzz. Many sects named their proud disciples as dragons and snakes, but there was no evidence. As time went on, it stopped... until the master brought back the senior brother. In the same year, Lin Yuan Returned to Baopuzong. Later, the two of them became famous, and the fortune-telling words were mentioned again by people with a heart. Over the years, there are many clues to follow, not groundless. "
Duan Chongxuan sighed when he said this, "Fourth Senior Brother, you have devoted yourself to your cultivation, and you have never joined the WTO, so naturally you don't know. In fact, today's storytelling is really not new. These have long been spread in the Western Continent."
Yin Biyue asked, "Do you believe it?"
"I also hope it's not true. But as far as I know, Lin Yuangui's birthday is facing 'Wing Su'. Although he tried his best to spy on the realm where the secret is easily damaged, and the secret is changing and unpredictable. But Mr. There is no one without me', the insight gained is naturally a hundred times more accurate than deduction. What's more... Mr. never speaks lies."
"Where's the big brother, does he know?"
Duan Chongxuan nodded, "I should know."
Hearing this, Yin Biyue felt a little heavy.
He used to think that the senior brother was carrying the honor of Xi Huafeng, the fame of Chunshan Xiao, and the safety of Cangya Mountain.
I just learned today that it turns out that life and death are also shackles.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Jun Yu. But Lin Yuangui is also very strong. It can be said that apart from the sub-sage of Baopu Zong, he is the most powerful person.
If according to the divination of the gentleman, this is not an ordinary enemy, but a battle of life and death.
Life and death are like watching across the river, which is really cruel.
Duan Diao seemed to guess what he was thinking.
He suddenly smiled, and his tone became much more relaxed, "Fourth Senior Brother don't have to worry too much. After all, with Master here, there will be no accident for Senior Senior Brother."
Yin Biyue was startled.
To be honest, he really has no confidence in that cheap master who hasn't returned to the peak for hundreds of years.
At this time, Luo Mingchuan also laughed, and the atmosphere was completely relaxed.
Duan Chongxuan said, "Fourth Senior Brother, do you know what festival Baopuzong has with us?"
Yin Biyue nodded, "It is rumored that the master once used a sword of blue sky and white sun on the edge of the Ba River, and deposed a Mahayana elder of Baopu Zong."
This is no secret. That sword is so famous that it illuminated the entire Ba River at night, and all five continents know it.
"In the version circulated by Baopu Zong, the swordsman acted arrogantly and unreasonably. Their elders heard that the swordsman accepted the first disciple, but just wanted to take a look. The abolition of the cultivation base... Fourth Senior Brother, do you believe it?"
Yin Biyue said decisively, "I don't believe it."
If Juggernaut was really that kind of person, he wouldn't be able to teach the character of Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister.
Duan Chongxuan smiled, "In fact, Baopuzong was divided into the old and the new at that time. The new school advocated that Taoism is natural, and cultivation depends on personal awareness. The old school insisted that the heaven and the path of qi and luck are preserved, and the more the swordsman monopolized, the more leftovers would be left. Little. Now Cangya Mountain has a Sword Saint, which has threatened Baopuzong's dominance in the Western Continent. Therefore, the appearance of the big brother makes them very nervous, and they are very afraid that Cangya Mountain will have a second sword in the future. Holy."
Yin Biyue had vaguely guessed something. It must have been Bao Pu Zong who attacked the big brother first.
"The elders of the old school of Puzong joined forces with other strongmen from other small sects to kidnap the senior brother while the swordsman was not there. At that time, the senior brother was still a child, and he could not hold the sword firmly, so he was held hostage. On the edge of the Ba River outside Baopu Zong, it is used to force the Sword Saint to surrender to the realm! No, it is not only the surrender, but they also ask the Sword Saint to abandon a spiritual vein."
Yin Bi became more and more angry, but still noticed a suspicious point, "They? Isn't it an elder of Baopu Zong?"
Duan Chongxuan's eyes showed a bit of sarcasm,
"Not just one, but six. Plus a few other small sects, there are twelve in total. They thought that no matter how powerful the Sword Master was, it was impossible to kill so many of them at once. Or, no Dare to kill so many of them, or do you want your reputation? With the idea of 'the law does not blame the public, and the number of people is righteous', only dare to do such a thing."
Yin Biyue had already guessed the ending at this time.
Sure enough, Duan Chongxuan said, "There hasn't been a 'Saint Realm' in the world for a long time, so they all forgot the power of a saint. Juggernaut, indeed, with just one sword, he killed eleven people and abolished Baopuzong's Mahayana Realm. The elder. The reason for leaving that elder alive is only because the elder brother is in his hands, and he is afraid of accidentally hurting the elder brother."
"Bao Puzong's vitality has been severely damaged since then. The new school thinks that this matter is wrong first, and it is difficult to mention it again. Although the elders of the old school are dead, but the disciples of those elders are still there, and they began to secretly promote the swordsman's cruelty and bloodthirsty. An unreasonable reputation."
Hearing this, Yin Biyue finally laughed, "How can a person like Master be burdened by fame?"
As if the swordsman who had never met, just came alive. He could even imagine the brilliance of that sword beside the surging Ba River.
No matter how the world looked at him, he felt that this was a figure worthy of admiration.
Duan Chongxuan also smiled, "Master, he is an old man, naturally he doesn't care what those fleas say... So, Fourth Senior Brother doesn't need to worry too much."
He took a sip of tea and sighed,
"If Master has a bottom line, the bottom line is Senior Brother."
